Alabama’s new coaching staff is focused on installing new schemes during their first spring practice. Players are beginning to separate themselves as the team prepares for scrimmaging. Quarterback Jalen Milroe has been taking first-team reps, with Ty Simpson leading as backup. The running back competition is strong, with Justice Haynes and Jam Miller standing out. In the receiving corps, Jalen Hale and Germie Bernard have faced injuries, opening up opportunities for Jaren Hamilton and Emmanuel Henderson.

The tight end position is seeing strong performances from CJ Dippre, Robbie Ouzts, and Josh Cuevas. The offensive line, particularly at tackle, is a point of competition with Miles McVay and Wilkin Formby vying for the right tackle spot. Center Parker Brailsford and James Brockermeyer are competing for the starting role. On the defensive side, Jaheim Oatis’ injury has created opportunities for players like James Smith and Damon Payne Jr. Jah-Marien Latham is standing out at the Bandit position.

Inside linebackers Deontae Lawson and Jihaad Campbell lead the charge, with Jeremiah Alexander and Justin Jefferson competing for the third spot. Outside linebacker Keanu Koht has impressed with his progress, and younger linebackers are showing potential. In the secondary, Malachi Moore, Domani Jackson, Zabien Brown, and Red Morgan are making strides. DeVonta Smith’s injury has allowed for increased reps for other players like Tony Mitchell. Freshmen like Jaylen Mbakwe and Zavier Mincey are gaining valuable experience.

Alabama’s defensive back group is evolving, with players like Peyton Woodyard positioning themselves for a spot on the two-deep lineup. Overall, the team is focused on competition, improvement, and preparing for upcoming scrimmages. The coaching staff is pleased with the progress and development of players across all positions. As the spring practice continues, the team will look to solidify roles and continue to build cohesion within the roster.
